Kagome went home and slept the day away. Nothing else she could do...
The next morning was sunday, but she felt as if she belonged at school at the moment. She walked to school and tried to open the front gate. It was locked and janitors were scattered all over the courtyard sweeping up soda bottles and cans.
She shrugged and climbed over it. She cut her leg a couple times but no bleeding involved.
"Hey lil' missy, schools out today! It's sunday!" One of the janitors said resting on his broom.
She nodded knowingly.
"Get you cute lil' bottom back home then, if ya know!"
She shrugged and shook her head.
"Oh-- i hate this... No escuella aki." He said in broken spanish. She didn't even know what he said. She shook her head and shrugged again.
"I can't speak japanese!" He groaned. "Go HOME!"
She nodded and climbed over the fence, hearing the janitor mumble 'kids these days...'. Didn't bother her much, she continued home without thinking of anything. It was easy to do that.
She awaited the next day and she happily went to school. She climbed on the bus with a smile and she pushed her raven hair behind her. It was a pain to nearly step on her hair at the length it was, but she couldn't afford a hair cut. Nor scissors.
She sat in the back, inuyasha was in the front. He turned to look at her and he waved blushing. She waved back, but not so nicely, just a quick hi.
He worded the sentence but didn't say anything. 'you skipping 7th period again?'
She nodded. He nodded too.
'me too.' he worded once again. She shrugged, wondering exactly why. He smiled cutely at her. 'can i sit with you?'
She nodded and began to scoot over as he stood and walked up to her seat and sat.
"Thanks." he said in his voice. "It's so boring sitting next to Kikyo. She only talks about shrimp and her cats. But you're pretty interesting to talk to."
'How?' she wished she could say, but she smiled and nodded. She felt his shirt, it was smooth as red. She had no idea why she was doing this.
He noticed her hand and he looked up at her. "What are you doing?"
She blushed and took her hand away. She didn't do anything, she stared out the window, avoiding him completely. She wished she hadn't done that. How stupid of her, now inuyasha had the idea that she liked him or something. She was sure of it, because boys just love to flatter themselves. Well they're all wrong.
"It's ok!" Inuyasha assured her. "I'm not mad or anything, why would i be? You didn't do anything wrong did you? Like put a sign on me or..." He started to believe himself and he checked his sleeve just to be sure, but nothing was there so he forgot about it.
"So you know the prom in a month? Remember, Mrs. Kamoni announced it Friday? -- oh right, you skipped 4th. Well she told us that a prom was taking place in a month, and i thought that was cool since prom's mean absolutely no school work. Just eating and stuff." Inuyasha's voice lowered until he finished, and he seemed like his sentence was imcomplete.
What is this guy, some kind of stalker? She thought in her mind. I know it... He's gonna ask me to go with him, i'm sure of it. Oh great, what a hard question to answer.
"So my girlfriend Giovani dumped me like 4 years ago and i have no one to go with. So i'll just go alone. You going alone too?" He asked her, suddenly figuring out ways to ask her out.
She nodded, not even sure if she was going.
"What a coincidence!" Inuyasha said with a hint of releif in his voice. "Well since neither of us are going with anyone, you maybe wanna go together or something? It's just sort of lonely watching everyone else being with someone when you're with only yourself, we can go as friends, because that's what we are right?"
His meek, embarrassed speech made her heart flip. She was so excited that a guy was actually asking her out to a dance! Never had she recieved so much care in her life, but the question still rested in her mind, a question we really wanted answered.
'Why does this guy like me?'
